The vaccine against the Covid-19, if the two prescribed doses are completed, it is approximately 80% effective in protecting against infection and up to 100% in protecting against the more severe effects of the disease, for all age groups. This is demonstrated by the data elaborated by the Institute Superior of Health from the National Vaccine Registry and from the integrated surveillance of cases of Sars-CoV-2 virus infection relating to the period between 21 June and 4 July.
Vaccines, two-dose coverage data
In the elaboration, the vaccination status of infected, hospitalized and deceased from Sars-Cov-2 was examined, and vaccination efficacy was calculated for four age groups, 12-39, 40-59, 60-79 and over 80 As regards the infection, the complete course of vaccinations has an efficacy between 79.8% and 81.5%, depending on the age group. For ordinary hospitalizations, the effectiveness varies from 91.0% to 97.4% with the highest value in the 40-59 year range. For ICU admissions, the efficacy is 100% in the two younger groups (ie there was no ICU admission in the vaccinated in the period considered), and slightly drops to 96.9% in the over 80s. regards deaths, the effectiveness is again 100% in the two younger groups, while it drops to 98.7% in that 60-79 (2 deaths among vaccinated versus 78 of unvaccinated) and 97.2% in over 80 (15 deaths in vaccinated and 62 in unvaccinated).
